slip of tongue

I wanted to be coy

create a mystery

for you to crack

but a slip of my tongue

revealed all secrets

your eyes danced

seductively in moonlight

a slip of tongue between

my cherry chapstick lips

caused me to fall deep

into this liaison

  4. That often happens when we are trying to be a certain way, and seductive eyes can cause confusion. I like the play on words, the anagram in the lines:
    ‘a slip of tongue between
    my cherry chapstick lips’
    and the hint of a French kiss.
